I've been getting a lot of hits from

but as I'm not German fluent, I have no idea what they're saying - anyone help?

I can read it, I just don't understand it.

Sorry :-[

Use Google's translator: http://www.google.co.uk/language_tools?hl=en

The translations are not great but you can usually get a good idea of what's being said.

I get the same thing with our hits.

I tried that and it came out as weird gibberish.

Oh well. I'm assuming that since they linked to my blog and to skepdic as well, they were being a bit scathing.

It looks like it's some people believing in it and some of them not - the usual sort of debate.

I'd watch yourself though Mark, you have a rival: "The bath Homeopath" ;D ;D ;D

The translator doesn't always work well and you normally can only get a gist of what's being said.

I think he's the guy who prepares homeopathic remedies in his bathtub.

Does he have an olympic sized swimming pool and a couple of oceans for higher potencies?

I've sent the link to my sister for translation, she's fluent in german. My GCSE german is so rusty I can't get much furtehr than transleighting the forum's name as "Free Spirit forum". I have a new faviourt german word now "Placeboeffekt"

I am fluent in German. Lived in Germany for 17 years ...

I'll try to get some time at the weekend, though I can't promise. I've been soooooo busy at work these last couple of months I barely even get time to read this forum.

And besides, it's my older son's 19th birthday tomorrow ...
